Think it's about time i posted up a thread about my car...

I bought a brand new Mini Cooper S Works running just over 200bhp in March 2007, absolutly loved it too.
I got rid of the Mini about 8 to 10 months after buying it, i can't really remember how long exactly, and bought myself a totally bog standard VW Mk4 Golf GTi in Reflex Silver. One lady owner, so i knew the car hadn't had the shoot kicked out of it. I bought the car with every intention of modifying it to what i would consider, a gorgeous car.
Here she is the day i got her:

Lot's more to come, I'm currently writing up the whole progress so i will upload the progress bit by bit.

I'm a little slow these days!

I'm having some pictures emailed to me from my old computer and i have some on here, so i will post what i can in the best order possible.

Fresh wheels...

Before going anywhere near the car...Sprayed grey...then wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1's...

Hella rear lights, one fitted, one not to show the difference.

Colour looks nothing like on the actual car, but it's a bit dark in the workshop.

But this is what the colour will look like on the car in the light.
